1980 but could be 2010,

This review is from: 1980 (Audio CD)
There i was reading Record Collector just before Christmas when the Review section announced a CD debut of this album(30 years after release!).Frankly,i didnt realise it existed even though i tend to trawl through Amazon site not to mention shops ,record fairs etc.Anyway,Record Collector awarded the album 4 stars(out of 5 ) and as i normally trust their reviews i ordered via Amazon.I was not disappointed.This is a terrific album-straightahead GSH/BRIAN JACKSON music and having read Brian Jacksons sleevenotes,this could easily have been a rushed swansong for the duo;not so.Having played this album twice this morning,i cannot believe this album is 30 years old and i am left with some sadness that we have not been able to hear anything from the duo in that time,so if anyone connected to the duo is reading this review please can we have a reunion album? By the way,production is excellent.

excellent,
By Bill Your 'Free Form FM Handi Cyber Print DJ ... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 1980 (Audio CD)
1980 is a little different than what you may expect from Gil Scott Heron, though with its title and neon frame, you probably would not arrive here expecting the 1970s poetry rap experiments.
This is extremely danceable, with beats approaching disco. But is a tough disco that relies on a funk impulse, and never orchestration. By this point, Heron had become a full fledged and excellent singer, not just a poet singing. His voice here is well integrated into the mix. Despite his passion, Heron always kept a clean and natural singing style, and this serves 1980 quite well. Different approach, same Gil Scott Heron, and as always, that equals a buy. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Gil Scott Heron,
By Townes Gleaton "townzl" - Published on Amazon.com
What can you say about Gil. I first got this album when I entered the Navy and in my opinion it is some of he and Brian Scott's best work. Their range of songs goes from the political aspect to a positive retrospective state of mind. Gil has always spoke to the "Power Structure" in America and this album does not vary from that theme. I've also ordered "Reflections", and I am hoping that it comes as fast as this one did.1980
